Chapter 94. call me by the name (that means something to us)
With the Tower of Justice sieged, the crew carves their way through it to unveil their next step forward.
Coby divulges his truth in search of a new ally, and fortunately for them all, the waves he'd set forth in this world aren't failing them even here in Enies Lobby. There are allies in the horizon, but there's also a Buster Call hailing from the same direction.
Gin and Anne struggle to close a chapter in their lives.
Hi everyone! I live. I'll try to close Enies Lobby before the year ends, probably.

Chapter 95. if you’re looking for monsters (we have lots of them to spare)
Burglar Cat had so much potential in the New World. If she wanted to unveil the truth of the Void Century, she could have done it in the New World. She could have gone after Egghead in her own discretion and, with the Seer’s influence, she would have likely succeeded without much preamble.
And yet, she didn’t. That could only mean one thing.
(That the Seer isn’t omniscient.)
Another update? Yeah it's another update. Did say I was gonna try and get through Enies. I don't think we'll finish the arc within the year, but it's progress.

Chapter 93. it's a raid (it's a war)
The raid begins. They seize the Tower of Justice--- and in the distance, CP9 encroaches. The time for retaliation has come, and the war has just begun.
The world will come to know the Straw Hat Pirates.
Ehhh I didn't take a year to update this time! Anyways the strawhats go batshit
Because yeah it's getting confusing. This is mainly for my own reference but it’s a list ig
Set in alternative time:
The [As the Gods Will] events that set off the earthquake where time resets at the end.
The [Pandora Hearts] events because it takes place in multiple Mukuro lifetimes.
The [Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle] events take place in many alternative dimensions and timelines. Same thing to the [Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood] installment.
Things that existed even before the earthquake
Demons from Kimetsu no Yaiba
Shizume City from K Project (the worlds both existed, but they were connected via only the Kannagi and Inari back then. Only after the earthquake did the bridge appear)

Chapter 92. help me to my feet (and say you want to live)
Luffy knows he's not an ideal captain by any means. But it does get frustrating when the world refuses to see him for who he is.
He is Monkey D. Luffy, and he is the man who will become the Pirate King.
tldr; the declaration of war as they stand atop the courthouse.
Here we finally are!
Took me a while but I got here in the end. I must say, it's 9k words long again, and we're only in the exact middle of Enies Lobby-- but this story was made for me to unleash all the one piece brainrot I could without worrying about too much about the details and the pacing, so I guess you guys are subjected to it all anyways. Sorry.

Chapter 89: may liberation take the wheel (wake up, nightless island!)
Preparations for a siege are in order. It begins with a strategy meeting, a reassurance of resolve, and of course, is immediately followed by chaotic derailment.
With a slightly different cast than before, Enies Lobby welcomes its uninvited visitors.
Woah! This one took a while. Hi everyone that's still reading, real life kicked me in the skull for a bit. I also recently watched Film Red and I am not okay. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy the chapter! :)
I think I should say this to anyone that's just curious: The 'future' that Nami and Usopp come from should not be seen as 'canon but bad ending', it should be seen as an alternative universe of its own. This is because there will be more and more discrepancies with canon as we go on the Final Saga of One Piece, and I can't handle anyone else trying to 'correct' my story because "Momonosuke grew up at the end of Wano so you should fix that" no. I am not 'fixing' anything, if I wanted to be right about everything I wouldn't have written any One Piece fics before the end of One Piece.
Some things are going to be wrong and that is how it's staying. Of course, I am going to write in new revelations that are genuinely important to the core story, like the Gomu Gomu no mi's true ability, for example. But for other things, no.
This 'present' they are in right now isn't canon, either. Of course it isn't, but I am referring to things like Gin's backstory, Smoker's connection with Rosinante, the Five Devas, etc. These are eccentricities of this world they are in right now, and sometimes, they will be different from the canon we know on a fundamental level, and will also be different from the previous world Nami and Usopp know, because this just isn't the same place as before. I think I briefly alluded to this in the Ocean's Dream extra chapter, but I just wanted to restate it for clarification. This is going to be addressed in the story eventually, probably after Enies Lobby.
This is also my justification to the One Piece Films and G-8 Filler arc, which are under the premise that Nami and Usopp know nothing about those events. It was also my justification for adding Gin into the crew-- even though nothing much new or impactful happened to him in Baratie, he joined because of this backstory, and because I wanted to give him more depth. It is not about whether canon would have changed that way or not-- it is just how this world went.
Anyways. Sorry for the long note. You didn't have to read it all but thank you if you did.
